and borrow money for making improvements.
Money in this way might have been borrowed
from Mr.. Fair for making improvements or to
I'LL the gap OF money taken from the surplus
fund for such Improvements, which was the
same thing.
Colonel Crocker explained that the falling off
OF dividends since 1873 was due to falling of in
rates, change In volume of traffic competition
and In various other causes.
In response to the question Of Commissioner
Pattison, Colonel Croker said that his father.
Charles Crocker, and Mr.. Huntington owned
stock in much the same companies that Stan
ford Was interested In. He owned interests in
the Southern Pacific of California Southern Pa
cific Of Kentucky, Stockton and Copperopolis,
California Pacific, Wells, Fargo & CO., and the
Rocky Mountain Iron and Mining Company.
some OF the employees of the company held
stock Mr. Towne had stock in the Rocky
Mountain Company. Other particulars of hold
ings of stock by employees would be shown by
the book books; - :,
asked Mr.. Pattison.
"No," said Colonel Croker "If Won want to
question me further, will answer"
Mr. Cohen then asked leave to question the
witness, who stated his age as 81 years In his
opinion the Central Pacific had let the eonstruc-
tion OF its road to the Contract and Finance
and Pacific Improvement Companies at much
less than if given TO any other company.
The difference between the sinking fund as il
now exists and as il would have existed but for
the Thurman Act entailed loss of 8 per cent.
to the company The total loss he had not
computed
The Central Pacific road, from San Jose to
Promontory Point could not pay the interest on
its bonds and contribute to the sinking fund If
run by itself
Greed Raymond asked Colonel Croeker If a
tunnel at a cost of 10000, goo were made at
Truckee, and by Act of Congress all the lines
and branches were consolidated. whether the
Central Pacific could not run as cheaply as the
edness.
Colonel Croker stated that tunnel would
obyiate the heavy expense of travelling over
the mountains and maintaining snow sheds,
and would enable the Central Pacific to compete
advantageously with other roads,
The Commission then adjourned to Monday

ried out by the watchman and others. The fire
soon crossed the street to Wilcoxs livery stable.
and In very short time two blocks were re-
dueed TO ashes. The fire was checked by the

Marriages In Greenland

The Verdens Gang of Christiana is pub
fishing the journal of one of the Danish
missionaries in Greenland The preacher
is not only the minister of the gospel, but
is invariably resorted to both by Young
men and maidens as the matrimonial
agent A young man comes to the mis-
sionary house and says to him; | want to
marry" WhomY asks the missionary.
Have you any one in mindp "Yes,n
answers the lover; but she will not have
me. | want you to speak to her." Have
you not spoken for yourselfY' "Many
times; but she always says No, no.'b
That is nothing" says the pastor; "you
know the way of maidens. Does she like
you ?" 1T is difficult to find out. She
will tell you" The pastor accordingly
sends for the girl, who comes willingly
enough, knowing what the message means.
Well, my daughter" he observes. I" it is
time that you should think of marriage
" never mean TO marry" is her in
variable and conventional answer "That
Is pity" says the minister, because
] have good husband for thee"
Who is he p she asks. The missionary
then tells her his name-although she
knows it well as he does-and launches out
In the lovers praise He is strong, good
looking, kindly; he caught two fine
whales when his companions took none, or
whatever else can be said to his repute.
After the catalogue of his merits has been
recited, the girl replies, But l think him
good-ior-nothing" "Ah, WELL" says the
missionary, " thou are not wise. There is
no lad that can fling harpoon as he can.
| shall soon find him wife" He then
wishes the girl good day, affecting to be-
lieve that the interview is over. But she
is sure to linger, and after blush and a
sigh she whispers, so it is particularly
your wish, Herr Pastor? | do not quite
like him. with a deep sigh, "but if you"
At this point she virtually hands over the
business to the minister, who has to tell
her that she knows she loves the lad, that
she would not have come If she had not
thought of accepting him, and that moth
ing is wanting but to ask the blessing of
God upon their union.-PaH Neil Gazette
